Social Climbers: 5 Best Up-and-Coming Cities For FoodiesWomen's Health and Yelp teamed up to find the fittest, artsiest, foodiest, and just plain coolest cities on the rise in America. Put these winners on your must-visit short list.

Everyone knows that New York City and L.A. have unbelievable food scenes (obviously!). But this isn't a zero sum game, you know. For our first ever Social Cities package in the October 2014 issue of Women's Health, we teamed up with Yelp to find out which up-and-coming cities had a lot going on in different social scenes. For a city to rank as foodie-heaven, it had to have a gajillion and a half restaurants of pretty much every possible type (and we're talking about so much more than just vegan and gluten-free, here). If you're ever planning to take a gastronomical tour of the US, you're definitely going to want to hit up these five cities. #Yum.

8:30 a.m. Order up the green eggs and ham and a "joenut," pastry chef Joe Williams' take on the ever-buzzy Cronut, at Kitchen No. 324.
